The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow novel Chapter 184

"Ms. Gonzalez, rest assured, your husband is just fine. He can be discharged right away, but he needs to take it easy for a while," the doctor advised before turning and leaving the room.

The big hospital room went dead quiet.

Judson gazed at Nancy, who still looked downcast, guilt written all over her face.

"Nancy, are you upset that I'm okay?" Judson teased, feigning a hurt expression.

Nancy didn't even pause to think. "No, it's just... I feel like I've dragged you into this mess," she said, clearly blaming herself for Judson's injury.

"Dragged me in?" Judson wasn't satisfied with that explanation. "Nancy, you're my wife. Cyrus has been running his mouth for too long, and I've wanted to put him in his place for ages."

"He bullied you. What kind of man bullies a woman? He's a coward," Judson said, his face full of anger.

Nancy's lips curled slightly as she looked at Judson, whose anger was palpable. "He is a coward."

She had been blind to think Cyrus was ever a good guy.

Judson wrapped his uninjured arm around Nancy's slim waist, resting his chin against her stomach, his eyes fixed intently on her.

"Nancy, I'm not like him. Can you promise to only like me from now on?" he asked.

Seeing the man completely focused on her, Nancy's heart skipped a beat before diving into a whirlpool of mixed emotions. It was a shame Judson had lost his memory; the real Judson didn't actually feel that way about her.

Nancy gently ruffled Judson's hair, a wave of fatigue washing over her. "Judson, I'm a bit tired. Let's go home."

Catching Nancy's mood, Judson quickly covered up his momentary disappointment and nodded, saying, "Okay."

Just as Nancy and Judson left the hospital, Cyrus was wheeled out of the operating room by the doctor.

By the time she finished, her tone was almost certain, her eyes fierce. "Whoever dared to hurt Cyrus, I'll make Judson pay for it!"

No one was allowed to harm Cyrus.

Caleb, watching the determined Sarah, knew she was the heiress of one of the four great families of West Haven. Still, Judson always gave him an unsettling feeling, like he was dealing with something dark and unpredictable.

Sarah might not let Judson off the hook, but Caleb doubted Judson would let Mr. Gordon get away with this either.

Caleb's instincts proved right. In the days Cyrus spent in the hospital, every project of The Gordon Group's branch in West Haven came to a screeching halt. Within days, everything was shut down.

Cyrus had no choice but to rush back to the company.

Caleb knocked and entered, his expression as grim as the news he carried. "Mr. Gordon, we've found something. It's Michael from The Ferguson Group who issued the order to freeze our operations."
